Both the DMCA takedowns I listed were them trying to get discussions taken down. They have issued takedowns for cracks but I didn't post those. Yes, they do sometimes push firmware to break the latest jailbreak or keep people from using iTunes software alternatives, but these were takedowns just for people talking. I don't see how that is much different from what Amazon did here.
